(Walter Horatio) Gaston de Latour; an unfinished romance Scanned and proofed by Alfred J. Drake "Gaston de Latour: An Unfinished Romance" by Walter Pater is a fictional narrative likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Gaston de Latour, a young cleric caught in the turmoil of the French Religious Wars during the Renaissance, exploring themes of loyalty, spirituality, and the complex interplay of personal aspirations and familial duty. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the Château de Deux-manoirs and the storied family of Latour, revealing the historical and sentimental significance of their lineage. The opening depicts a poignant ceremony to recognize Gaston as a cleric, a moment filled with religious solemnity amid a backdrop of familial connections and the looming shadow of war. The narrative highlights Gaston's deeply sensitive nature, his spiritual struggles, and his awareness of the tumultuous world around him, marked by episodes reflecting the impact of the ongoing wars and the rich tapestry of life in La Beauce, France. These introductory passages set the stage for a character whose journey will be shaped by both his spiritual inclinations and the chaos of his era.
